Ron wants to be baptized along with his teenaged grandson - both professing Christian men. They will be baptized in June. The ice and winter melt will be gone by then and these two men will be fixing up the spot in the creek and clearing the brush from the bank beforehand. :thumbsup:

In the case of my children, no. They were very young when they were saved but they were still too young to fully be able to explain what had happened. We waited until they were old enough to explain it to another adult AND for them to be tall enough to not drown in the baptismal.

So you believe your children were saved even though they couldn't articulate what being saved is? You are correct that they shouldn't have been baptized, but not for the reason you think.

Was Paul able to articulate exactly what happened when he was saved? Nope.

The kids understood but in a very basic way. They were between 4 and 5 years old and I knew they were truly saved. They had faith and had changed hearts - but it took them a little time of maturing to be able to explain what happened. But there is no question they were saved. They are now 9, 11, 19 and 21 and all continue to love the Lord and walk with Him. I have no questions about their salvation.
